These hometowns will be easy to remember

From the Associated Press:

QUINCY â€" The most confusing words to be heard in this south-central Michigan village this weekend might be, "I'm from Quincy."

Quincy is holding its second annual Quincy Daze event. About 20 people from communities named Quincy in six other states are to gather starting Friday in the 1,700-resident town 110 miles southwest of Detroit.

Residents of the various Quincys call themselves "Quincy Where?" and gather each summer at a different Quincy. Organizer Rita Cheatum tells The Daily Reporter of Coldwater that visitors are expected from Quincys in Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio and Washington.
